A study was conducted to evaluate the proper particle cleaned air changes per hour (PCH) in apartment buildings and school classrooms. The concept of PCH was newly introduced. The PCH can be expressed as the clean air delivery rate (CADR) per space volume. The PCH includes the filtering effect with air changes per hour (ACH). A method for calculating the proper PCH was theoretically proposed and experimentally verified. The proper PCH to effectively control ultrafine particles in apartments and school classrooms was found to be 4.0/h and 4.2/h, respectively. In general, air cleaners and mechanical ventilation devices are often used together in apartments and school classrooms. In such cases, it is important to consider the proper PCH of each device and control it for energy-efficient operation. In addition, in times of concern for infection such as COVID-19, it will be necessary to operate the PCH at 6.0/h or more to minimize the probability of infection.

In this study, the time to endure after conducting a test pressure test was analyzed according to the hose development length of the household hose reel indoor fire hydrant according to the apartment area. First, when the household area is 50㎡, a household hose reel indoor fire hydrant is installed inside the bathroom, and the hose is bent in a circular shape to the farthest fire point, and the test pressure is found to be inadequate only when the hose development length is 5m. When the household area of an apartment is 84㎡. It was found that the test pressure was inappropriate only when the hose deployment length was 5m with the hose bent in a circular shape to the farthest point by installing a household hose reel indoor fire hydrant inside the bathroom. When the hose deployment length was 15m, the average experimental value was 3.9 Mpa and the water pressure resistance time was 8 min. It was found that the test pressure and holding time were suitable for all of the working pressure of 0.7 Mpa, the inner diameter of the hose 25mm and 32mm, and the hose deployment length. When the installation of the hose reel indoor fire hydrant hose was 3 Mpa, the internal diameter of the hose was 25mm, 32mm, and the length of the hose deployment were all suitable.

This study compares and analyzes the discharge status of smoke according to the method of installing a mobile blower in the event of a fire in an underground parking lot of an apartment using an evacuation simulation. An evacuation simulation was conducted on the situation in which the discharge of smoke in the event of a fire was discharged using a mobile blower to extinguish the smoke in the event of a fire by focusing on the part without smoke facilities in the underground parking lot. The results derived through experiments on the amount of smoke discharged using the natural exhaust method and the mobile blower in the underground parking lot are as follows. (1) In the event of a fire in an underground parking lot, the PPV (positive pressure ventilation) method, which has been mainly used in the field, should be used in a limited way. It can be an effective method if the exhaust port corresponding to the amount of the blower and the smoke exhaust is located nearby, or if the capacity of the apartment ventilation fan is designed to meet the 18CMH/㎡ of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 88A or the 27CMH/㎡ standard standard for performance-oriented design evaluation and operation such as fire fighting facilities of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 88A. (2) In the case of the additional mixing method (PPV+NPV) performed in the FDS experiment, smoke emissions increased by 5.1% compared to the NPV single method, and increased by 24.4% compared to the PPV single method.

Due to the smoke generated during a fire in an underground parking lot, initial response is difficult, resulting in an increase in life and property damage. In this study, fire cases in underground parking lots were analyzed and the necessity of legal and institutional amendments was suggested to improve the installation of smoke removal facilities, sprinkler facilities, emergency outlet facilities, and connected water pipe facilities. First, it is necessary to improve the smoke removal facilities of apartment underground parking lots. Second, it is necessary to install wet sprinklers in underground parking lots only when it has a structure or device capable of preventing freezing. It is stipulated in a manner other than wet in the fire safety technology (NFTC 103) of sprinkler facilities. However, wet sprinklers may be installed only in places where there is no fear of freezing, or when a structure or device capable of preventing freezing has been used. Third, it is necessary to amend the "Firefighting Facility Installation and Management Act" so that the standards for installing emergency outlet facilities are not regulated according to the number of underground floors, but according to the sum of the floor areas of the underground floors.

Apartments such as those on the 29th floor are generally classified as high-rise buildings; however, they may be excluded from certain safety regulations since they do not meet the legal definition of "high-rise" buildings. According to the Korean Building Act, buildings with 30 or more floors are typically regarded as high-rise buildings, warranting specific disaster prevention and safety standards. Nevertheless, buildings between 20 and 30 floors are often excluded from high-rise building regulations, which may lead to relatively insufficient safety standards and has been identified as a "blind spot in safety management." Enhancing appropriate safety facilities and strengthening regulations for such buildings is crucial, particularly in areas such as fire prevention, evacuation planning, and fire-fighting facilities. This study compares and examines the evacuation times of designated evacuation safety zones and emergency elevators in high-rise apartments as defined by the Building Act and in buildings constructed with floors between 20 and 30 through evacuation simulations.

The precast concrete (PC) method allows for simple assembly and disassembly of structures; however, ensuring airtight connections is crucial to prevent energy loss and maintain optimal building performance. This study focuses on the analytical investigation of the shear capacity of precast ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) ribs combined with standard concrete PC cladding walls. Five specimens were tested under static loading conditions to evaluate their structural performance and the thermal behavior of the UHPC rib shear keys. Test results indicated that the specimens exhibited remarkable structural performance, with shear capacity approximately three times greater than that of standard concrete. Numerical models were subsequently developed to predict the shear capacity of the shear keys under various loading conditions. A comparison between the experimental results and finite element (FE) models showed a maximum strength difference of less than 10% and a rib displacement error of up to 1.76 mm. These findings demonstrated the efficiency of the FE model for the simulation of the behavior of structures.

The purpose of this study is to present a plan for reducing noise between floors of apartment houses in Korea and to examine the method for evaluating noise blocking performance rating between floors. The definition of floor noise and classification method of floor noise can be described, and floor noise can be distinguished into lightweight impact sound and heavy impact sound. The wall-type structure, which is mainly adopted in domestic apartments, relatively transmits vibration caused by impact sources rather than using columns and beams, so noise problems between floors are relatively higher than systems using columns and beams. Three representative methods for reducing and blocking floor noise are described, and criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of floor noise reduction by each method are described. In addition, the method for noise reduction and blocking grades for each construction method currently applied in Korea was described, and as a result, it was judged that the domestic rating evaluation method was not suitable for the current domestic situation, and a new evaluation method and standard were needed.

주택의 가격은 주택이 위치하고 있는 지역과 밀접한 관계가 있으며, 더불어 주택가격 결정요인은 전역적 수준과 하위지역 간 효과의 편차를 보이는 공간적 이질성을 내포하고 있다. 최근 공간적 이질성 역시 편차의 변화양상에 따라 연속적과 불연속적으 로 구분하는 관점으로 확장되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 서울시 아파트 매매가격 결정요인의 공간적 이질성을 연속적 및 불연속적 관점에서 탐색하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 각각 지리가중회귀모형과 공간 경계를 지역 제약으로 하는 확장 모형인 지역-지리가중회 귀모형을 사용하여, 자치구 내와 자치구 사이의 국지적 회귀계수의 공간적 변동 양상을 탐색하였다. 나아가 두 모형을 설명력과 잔차의 공간적 자기상관을 기준으로 비교･평가하였다. 본 연구 결과에서는 건축 연도와 같이 지역-지리가중회귀모형에서 자치구 간의 불연속성이 강조되고, 자치구 내의 불연속성의 상쇄가 발생하지 않는 결정요인을 불연속적 공간적 이질성 관점으로 설명하 였다. 하지만 여전히 근린공원 거리와 같이 자치구 간에서의 연속성이 유지되는 것이 적합한 변수들이 존재하여 연속적 공간적 이질성의 관점이 유효함 역시 확인하였다. 마지막으로 서울의 경우 모형의 설명력과 잔차의 공간적 자기상관 관점에서는 지역-지 리가중회귀모형이 기존 지리가중회귀모형보다 향상된 결과를 보였다. 본 연구는 주택가격 결정요인에 있어 공간적 이질성의 변동 양상에 대한 인식을 확장하고, 나아가 공간적 이질성의 유형화에 대한 기초 연구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This study aims to present a performance based design for apartments through evacuation safety assessment and damage impact assessment due to acrylonitrile leakage. In the evacuation safety evaluation, ASET was analyzed as 25 min or more and 60 min or less when the ventilation rate was once per hour, and RSET was 22.6 min. Evacuation safety is satisfied when the number of ventilation per hour is less than 1, so it is necessary to design the number of ventilation to be 1 or less. In the damage impact assessment, the 0% structural collapse rate due to overpressure was measured to be between 71m and 90m, and the 0% fatality rate due to radiant heat was measured to be between 136m and 353m. Therefore, maintain a safe distance of 353m or more.

Recently, in newly constructed apartment buildings, the exterior wall structures have been characterized by thinness, having various openings, and a significantly low reinforcement ratio. In this study, a nonlinear finite element analysis was performed to investigate the crack damage characteristics of the exterior wall structure. The limited analysis models for a 10-story exterior wall were constructed based on the prototype apartment building, and nonlinear static analysis (push-over analysis) was performed. Based on the finite element (FE) analysis model, the parametric study was conducted to investigate the effects of various design parameters on the strength and crack width of the exterior walls. As the parameters, the vertical reinforcement ratio and horizontal reinforcement ratio of the wall, as well as the uniformly distributed longitudinal reinforcement ratio and shear reinforcement ratio of the connection beam, were addressed. The analysis results showed that the strength and deformation capacity of the prototype exterior walls were limited by the failure of the connection beam prior to the flexural yielding of the walls. Thus, the increase of wall reinforcement limitedly affected the failure modes, peak strengths, and crack damages. On the other hand, when the reinforcement ratio of the connection beams was increased, the peak strength was increased due to the increase in the load-carrying capacity of the connection beams. Further, the crack damage index decreased as the reinforcement ratio of the connection beam increased. In particular, it was more effective to increase the uniformly distributed longitudinal reinforcement ratio in the connection beams to decrease the crack damage of the coupling beams, regardless of the type of the prototype exterior walls.

Human and material damage can be reduced if the risk is evaluated by engineering analysis of fire combustion products, smoke concentration, and smoke movement speed in the event of a fire in apartment houses and officetels. In this study, a lot of research on related safety evaluation in the basement needs to be studied and reflected in design, so experimental research was conducted to analyze the flow of smoke through computer simulation and provide analysis data through evacuation safety evaluation. First of all, the five-story underground parking lot subject to simulation has a large floor area, which is advantageous for improving evacuation safety performance, but it uses temperature detectors to increase detection time and fire spread speed. Second, it was analyzed that the evacuation time at all evacuation ports did not exceed the evacuation time, and as the time from the start of evacuation to the evacuation time was 216.9% compared to the travel time, it was evaluated that the safety performance of the evacuation was secured. Third, the above simulation results are a comprehensive safety evaluation based on the non-operation of fire extinguishing facilities in the fire room to increase safety, which means that smoother evacuation safety performance can be secured by linking fire extinguishing facilities.

본 연구는 조경수목 유지 및 관리의 현실적인 어려움을 분석하고 그 대안을 제고하기 위하여 작성되었다. 이를 위해『조경공사 표준시방서』를 분석하였으며, 이를 각 조사 대상지의『전체공정표』와 『조경식재 공사 하자현황 및 처리방안』보고서를 분석한 내용과 비교하였다. 또한 전문가 인터뷰를 참고하였다. 첫 번째 문제는 수목 식재 적기를 고려하지 않는 시공일정으로 인한 부적기 식재이다. 두 번째는 배수 와 관수의 불량이다. 생육상태가 좋지 않은 수목에 적절하고 충분한 관수는 필수적임에도 불구하고 시공 이전 배수로 관리나 시공 이후 관수가 적절하게 이루어지고 있지 못하다는 문제가 있다. 세 번째 는 경제적, 시간적 문제로 발생하는 수목 식재의 변경과 재이식이다. 네 번째는 공사현장의 구조적 문 제로 발생하는 불충분한 식재기반 조성이다. 현장에서 수목 관리가 제대로 이루어진다면 하자율을 상당히 줄일 수 있다. 정부지침은 식재 수목에 관한 상세한 내용들을 담고 있으나 조경 시공사가 겪는 실질적인 어려움은 충분히 반영하고 있지 못하다. 식재의 반입 기준이나 자재관리, 식재시기, 토양관 리 등의 지침을 수행하기 위해서는 조경시공을 충분히 고려해야 하며, 시공기간을 충분히 제공받아 야 한다. 본 연구는 공사현장 및 공사과정의 현실적 이해를 더 높이고 정부의 지침과 현실적인 문제 사이의 간극을 밝혀내고자 하였다. 추후 정부 지침의 보완하여 조경 현장여건을 적극적으로 반영하 고 근본적인 문제를 해결할 수 있어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 경로의존성과 정책선도자의 개념으로 최근의 주요 경비업 법 개정 관련 논란 및 사태 등을 살펴, 10.29 참사 이후 경비업법 개 정 관련 논의를 하고자 한다. 이를 위해 각종 논문 및 학술자료와 신문 기사 등 자료를 통한 문헌분석 방법을 통해 살펴본다. 경비업법은 경비 업 제한(지도와 감독, 규제와 처벌 논리)법으로서 기능을 하여 왔으며, 경비업의 권한 남용의 방지에 관한 광범위한 기술적인 규정을 두는 경 로의존성을 지니고 있으며, 경비업법에서 정책선도자인 행정안전부(경 찰청)의 역할과 기능은 매우 중요함을 알 수 있었다. 결국, 경비업법의 경로의존성은 개정 입법 논의의 한계로 작용하고 정책선도자인 행정안 전부(경찰청)의 의지에 달렸다. 최근 10.29 참사로 인해 경비업법의 개 정에 대한 정책의 창이 열렸다. 그간의 경비업법 개정 과정 분석을 통 해 경로의존성과 정책선도자의 특성을 고려해 본다면, 개정의 논의가 순탄치 않음을 탐색해 볼 수 있다.

공동주택 방화문의 화재성능 결함으로 인하여 하자소송이 확대되고, 화재발생 시 치명적일수 있다. 그러나 현행 법령은 이에대한 대책이 소홀한 편이다. 본 연구에서는 방화문의 결함과 특성 등을 잘 반영하고 있는 『강제창호 제작･품 질검수 매뉴얼』과 LH 설계･시방서 개정작업에서 드러난 문제점들에 대한 개 선방안을 제시하고자 한다. 방화문의 적정단가를 산정하고 내용연수를 합리적 으로 조정하며 3단계 점검시스템 등 관련규정을 신설 운영한다면, 방화문 품질 성능 향상과 화재시 입주민 보호에 크게 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 아파트 단지에 식재된 조경수의 시계열 변화를 파악하고 조경수 중 소나무의 수요를 예측하기 위하여 수행되었다. 2003년부터 2020년까지 수도권의 아파트 단지에 사용된 수목의 종수는 평균 51종이며 2000년대 중후반에 비하여 2010년대 후반에는 다양한 종류의 수목이 사용되었다. 식재 수량은 평균 149,567주/1단지이며 시계열 변화가 두드러지지 않는다. 상록수와 낙엽수의 수종 비율은 2:8 이지만 식재된 수량은 3.5:6.5의 비율이었다. 상록수는 낙엽수에 비하여 한 수종의 식재량이 많은 반면에 낙엽수는 상록수에 비하여 상대적으로 다양한 수종이 식재되고 있다. 교목과 관목의 수종 비율은 6:4이지만 식재량은 관목 97.6%로 식재량에 비해 식재된 수목의 종류는 다양하지 않다. 조경수 중에서도 선호도와 이용가치가 높은 소나무의 식재현황을 분석하면 식재 수량은 증가하는 경향이며 특히, 근원직경이 큰 소나무의 식재 비율이 증가하고 있다. 아파트 단지의 소나무 식재수요를 예측하면 식재량은 지속적으로 증가할 것이며 특히 근원직경 40㎝ 이상의 특수목의 수요가 증가할 것이다. 이러한 조경수의 수요변화에 대응하여 다양한 식물소재를 발굴하고 생산할 수 있는 전략이 요구된다. 특히 지속적으로 소나무의 대형화가 예측되므로 시장에서 요구하는 수형과 규격을 갖춘 소나무가 적기에 공급될 수 있도록 생산관리가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals to which humans are exposed frequently via various mediums, including vehicle emissions that contain fine dust and heavy metals, use of organic solvent building materials, furniture, and smoking. Exposure to high concentrations of VOCs may result in loss of consciousness, paralysis, convulsions, and, in the most severe cases, death. Therefore, the present study investigated the indoor and outdoor concentrations of total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and five types of VOCs (benzene, toluene, styrene, m,p-xylene, and o-xylene) in apartments, a representative residential environment accounting for ~55% of the housing in the Seoul metropolitan area. The research was conducted over four seasons from May 2020 to February 2021, and the levels of VOC concentrations were analyzed by classifying them by season, weekday/weekend, and indoor/outdoor locations. The seasonal trend in VOC concentrations showed that TVOC concentration was highest in summer, with values of 1630.93 ± 1184.10 μg/m3 and 1610.36 ± 1363.43 μg/m3 for indoor and outdoor environments, respectively. The seasonal trends of the concentrations of the five types of VOCs showed that concentrations of benzene and toluene were highest in spring, the concentrations of m,p-xylene and o-xylene were highest in summer, and the concentration of styrene was highest in winter, irrespective of spatial characteristics such as indoor/outdoor environments. In all four seasons, the indoor concentrations were higher than the outdoor concentrations. These results reveal the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of the VOCs and so can serve as useful basic data for managing indoor and outdoor levels of VOCs.

This study was designed to verify what effect the use of a natural ventilation system can have on improving indoor air quality with regard to radon in various concentration ranges in an apartment house. The results show that both high (2~3 times higher than 148 m3) and low (similar to 148 Bq/m3) levels of indoor radon concentrations can be reduced close to and/or below the Korean IAQ guideline within 6 hours when the natural ventilation system is operated at approximately an air change rate of 0.5. In the case of an air change rate of 0.3, however, the indoor radon levels cannot meet the national guidelines and the reduction effect was insufficient with regard to various radon concentrations. Typically, the air change rate of a natural ventilation system is affected by meteorological factors such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, pressure. Its effectiveness varies according to such factors, for that reason, the reduction effects on radon did not increase proportionally with the ventilation time in this study.
